  • Patent number: 11486799
    Abstract: Provided are installation devices and uses thereof for receiving and installing an adaptor body for sampling soil gas under a slab. The installation device includes a cylindrical body and an internal cavity. The cylindrical body has a length greater than a thickness of the slab, a first end configured to be placed adjacent a top of the slab, and a second end configured to be placed below a bottom of the slab. The internal cavity extends longitudinally through the cylindrical body from the first end to the second end, where the internal cavity has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first diameter located at the first end of the cylindrical body and the second portion has a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The internal cavity of the cylindrical body is configured to receive the adaptor body.

  • Patent number: 6212785
    Abstract: A vehicle warning device presents a visual display of unsafe inclinations of the vehicle. A bubble level has a map thereon which presents a plurality of safety vehicle inclinations within its confines. The appearance of a bubble level adjacent the map perimeter the map readily indicates to the vehicle occupant that an unsafe inclination of the vehicle is about to occur so that corrective action can be taken. The map is constructed to reflect various angles of inclination of a vehicle depending on the slope of the underlying vehicle support surface and the angle of approach/departure of the vehicle up or down the surface.
